“Mercedes is always amazing! Love her work!! Thank you, Mercedes!”

“Mercedes did such an amazing job on lifting the weight off of my hair and bringing back the natural, healthy curls! So happy with the results!”

“The first time I visited Alchemy Salon I got the best haircut I’ve had in a long while. Mercedes is great, she is welcoming, friendly, and talented. She had amazing tips on how to care for my curly hair and even gave me some pointers on how to care for my 2 daughters hair. Will definitely be a loyal customer after this experience.”

“Mercedes is so skillful and looks out for every piece of hair to be the right length and in the right place.”

“Mercedes is great with my daughter and my daughter has so much fun every time she is there. Her hair looks great and I would highly recommend Mercedes for all ages!”

“My hair always looks amazing after a visit with Mercedes. She does a great job with color (and red is hard to match!) cut, and most recently I got the Lassio straightening which has completely changed my hair! I also love the atmosphere here and especially enjoy when the super cute dog, Tinkerbell is there. I always feel welcomed when I come in and especially like the board where everyone’s names are written to welcome them.”

“I’ve found the perfect salon! Everytime I come to this salon I am greeted with smiling faces and a welcoming ambiance. All of the ladies who work here are lovely. I have seen Mercedes a handful of times and she will go above and beyond to make you happy. She really listens and likes to make sure you have healthy, gorgeous hair! Go here!”

“My haircut with Mercedes was lovely. She told me exactly what I needed to do to get my hair healthy again, and I can’t wait to keep working with her!”

“Absolutely love how my hair came out... Mercedes was so nice and did a fantastic job!! Thank you!”

“Best salon ever. Mercedes is my girl. Never misses. 11/10”

“Mercedes is a young professional who excels at her craft and actively listens to what a client wants. I am very happy with how she styles my hair.”

“I find it hard to find a stylist who will actually listen to my visions and make then come to life. Mercedes has made all of my hair dreams come true. From my copper era to going back to my roots and doing a fun peekaboo style. I have all the confidence in her expertise.
She’s also great to chat with! Her energy is always positive and she connects with everyone in the studio.
I cannot say enough great things about the Alchemy team. Their chemistry with each other speaks volumes and helps create a welcoming atmosphere to new and old clients.
If you’re lucky, you can also meet the owner’s dogs! I recommend Mercedes and The Alchemy team to everyone looking for a fun, inviting and professional salon.”

“I absolutely loved my experience at this salon! I got my hair done by Mercedes who is, by far, the best hair stylist I have ever worked with. Mercedes is truly talented at what she does and I definitely will recommend her to anyone I know looking for a hairstylist in the area. She really took the time to understand what it was that I wanted and to explain how the process was gonna go. Prior to going here, I used to go to a different salon where they let me down time and time again. This was the first time, in a long time where I was truly happy with how my hair turned out. To top it off, the salon had a really homey and friendly vibe, which made the experience even better! I will absolutely be coming back and cannot wait for my next appointment!”

“I believe that the most accurate time to say that you like your haircut is when you’ve already had it for days and i must say that Mercedes really is so great with what she does! I am so glad that I took her suggestions regarding my cut. I have curly coarse hair so it’s not easy to find someone who knows how to cut it. This is definitely my go to salon now!”

“My tween has been here twice and had the most wonderful experience with Mercedes. The first cut was a life altering change from elbow length to a short crop. The second a few months later was a trim. Both times, Mercedes was engaging, kind, funny and created fantastic cuts that had my tween grinning. Mercedes is so personable, and really delivered. Highly recommend.”

“I can’t stop (looking) to see how perfect my hair got done, I’m literally in love with my hair … Mercedes is excellent !!! I showed her the pictures I got for references, and she just did magic.”

“Terrific as usual. Came in stressed, came out relaxed. By the way, before today my last haircut by Mercedes kept its shape for FIVE MONTHS! That is incredible. See you in April!”

“First timer - Mercedes was absolutely amazing. Her consultation rocked, her application of color was the neatest I’ve experienced, and she’s truly one of the most talented stylists I’ve worked with. GO HERE!!!!”

“I’m just so grateful for Mercedes. Makes me feel and look so much better every time I leave the chair which means so much for busy moms. ”

“Mercedes is so fabulous!! She totally understands fine hair and its challenges!! I am beyond happy with my cut, color ad how wonderful she is!! She listens!! Finally a stylist/colorist who listens!! Highly recommend!”

“The attention to detail that Mercedes pays to my haircuts always ensures I end up with super cute hair! My hair always looks amazing when she is done.”

“I finally found my go-to salon! I bounced around different stylists for the last two years after moving to town, and though they each did an okay job, it was just that—okay. I met with Mercedes to talk through the kind of cut and color I wanted, and she got quickly to work! She is so professional, knowledgeable, and easy to get along with. I felt completely at ease and trusted she knew what she was doing start to finish. I’m excited to continue with Alchemy and Mercedes! Highly recommend.”

“Mercedes did a great job shortening my length and reshaping. Pleasant environment and love the “all-in” pricing.”

“I love going to Alchemy for my haircuts and blowouts! Mercedes is the best and does amazing color. I have reddish hair and she always does a really great job. She knows how to cut my hair for my hair type which is very thick and on the dry side. She is also wonderful at blowouts and mine have stayed for up to 2 weeks!”

“Mercedes does an amazing cut and style!”

“Salon was so cute, I loved the decor and Mercedes was a 10/10, she’s amazing!!”

“This was my favorite salon experience. It was so efficient, I loved the haircut, and Mercedes was knowledgeable and fun!”

“First time getting a haircut here! Mercedes did an amazing job listening to what I wanted including keeping the length of my hair long (whereas my old place would take off too much) and suggesting ways to bring my hair back to life. I’m very happy and will definitely be returning!”

“I was very impressed with Mercedes’ creativity and positive energy. She totally transformed my overly processed color...I was amazed!”

“Mercedes was the best! I came in needing some serious hair TLC and now my hair looks and feels better than I did before having my son! I will be back!”

“After living in NY for years, I never thought I would find someone I loved as much as my stylist there. Since moving to CT a few years ago I started going to Alchemy and have seen Kristina and Mercedes. Both of them have surpassed my high expectations! They are both amazing, with close attention to detail for Keratin and cuts. I am always so happy with my hair and everyone in the salon is incredibly friendly. It is a great atmosphere and I will continue to go back for all hair care needs. 10/10 recommend.”

“The name says it all... Mercedes is top notch, she is up to date on the latest and greatest trends and styles, super knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend Alchemy and Mercedes.”

“Nice environment, and a very talented cutter and colorist!”

“ I’ve been seeing Mercedes now for about the last year and she’s wonderful! I don’t require anything too complicated but she always give an amazing cut and blow-dry and she’s just the sweetest as well. Always look forward to getting my hair done!”

“The styling and cut appointment went super well with Mercedes. I needed a little change to a shorter hairstyle with more control in a men’s modern look. The space is very lively, but relaxed & professional and local! See you soon!”

“Mercedes took her time, friendly, and was so informative. My haircut looks great! I also really appreciate their pricing structure as it includes the tip!”

“Mercedes gave me the great beachy, wavy, textured lob I was looking for! We moved to Fairfield from Brooklyn, NY, and I have been searching for my new local hair salon “home.” Mercedes gave me the elusive cut I had been seeking (and failing to get) from other local salons. She listened to what I wanted, looked through photos of similar cuts with me, and proceeded to give me a fantastic cut that was exactly in line with my requests — all at an extremely affordable price, which was an added bonus. I have gotten many compliments on my new cut over the last month, and it’s been growing out really well. Very grateful that I found Mercedes at Alchemy!”

“I’m so happy with my first visit to Alchemy salon! Love the haircut that Mercedes gave me! She was very friendly and knowledgeable on what would work best with my hair texture/face shape/etc. The space is very cute and I would highly recommend going here.”

“Amazing! The salon helped me find the right stylist for my curly hair and Mercedes is wonderful.”

“Mercedes did an awesome job on my hair, definitely would go back here. Salon was very homey, and had a great atmosphere!”

“I was so happy with how my hair came out! I’m so glad I chose Mercedes to do my hair, she really made me feel like myself again and I will definitely be coming back!”
